The spread of the Gospel and its final triumph, according to the will of God.

1st Sunday. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Rev. xiv. 6.

Fly abroad thou mighty Gospel,
Win and conquer, never cease!
So Immanuel's fair dominions

Shall extend and still increase.
Till the kingdoms of the world are all His

own.

2nd Sunday. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Isa. xi. 9.

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. Ps. xxii. 27.

Waft, waft ye winds His story,
And you, ye waters roll!
Till, like a sea of glory,

It spread from pole to pole!
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss return to reign.

Missionary work, grounded on our Lord's command to preach the Gospel to all.

3rd Sunday. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations. Matt. xxviii. 19.
